Celebrating a New Year and Birthdays🎂





The best phone calls are the positive ones from the Principal’s Office at CES! We are so proud of our students for showing grit, kindness, growth, and so much more! ☎️📞📱









New year, new books to read, new stories to write, and days full of learning. We’re back at CES and excited for everything ahead in 2026!










Mrs. Hawkins’ 3rd grade class, along with their Partner in Education, Kayla Thompson from Double T, had a fun and engaging day of learning. Kiddos practiced adding and subtracting multi-digit numbers to reveal a mystery image of the Grinch, worked in pairs to solve multi-step word problems, and created a plot diagram after listening to the story. They also enjoyed creating their own Whoville names and sorting Grinch-themed words by parts of speech.










"Let Your Kind Shine”
Kindness is everywhere at CES! The three recipients of this week's awards were nominated by a teacher or staff member for showing exceptional kindness. They received a sunshine bag and the opportunity to sit in the yellow sunshine chair over the next week to promote kindness throughout CES!
